Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Chapter 872: Spirit of the Weapon and the Yuan-Swallowing Gourd

"Master is still in retreat, and cannot come out to greet you right away. I hope the three seniors can forgive me. But he has already told me that he should be able to come out in the next few days, and then I can meet the three seniors again." Han Li guessed what they were thinking and took the initiative to explain.

"I see. It's alright." Xiang Zhili waved his hand.

"During this period of time, we three old guys will have to bother you for a few days."

"What are you saying, senior? It is our honor that you and the other two seniors can come to Xiaoji Palace. How can we say that we are disturbing you?" Liu Yunruo stepped forward and replied with a smile.

"Are you... the girl from the Liu family?" Xiang Zhili looked at the other party for a while, and suddenly something came to his mind, so he asked tentatively.

  "Do you still remember me?" Liu Yunruo looked delighted and continued,

"Thanks to your guidance, I have benefited a lot in my cultivation since then."

"It's just a piece of cake." Xiang Zhili laughed and said,

"You are really impressive, girl. After hundreds of years, you have already broken through to the late Nascent Soul stage. I believe that if your ancestor were still alive, he would be very pleased."

The two sides obviously had some connection, so they spoke in a naturally cordial manner, which also made the originally tense atmosphere at the scene become harmonious.

After another round of greetings, everyone dispersed and rejected Liu Yunruo's suggestion to hold a welcoming banquet. Xiang Zhili and the other two then settled down properly under the guidance of Han Li.

……

In a large secret room somewhere, Mo Juren was not the only one there. There was also a bamboo tube standing next to it, and a small figure several inches tall and covered in golden light was suspended above the bamboo tube.

In an area in front of the two people, there was a mysterious magic array with a diameter of dozens of feet. Inside the light shield formed by the array, all vision was blocked. The demonic energy inside was surging, and there were bursts of shrill beast roars one after another.

"It has been more than half a month, and your Ten Thousand Souls Gourd can still continue to devour demon souls. This shows how great its potential is. I can't wait to see to what extent it can grow?" The golden little man was naturally the Dayan God. Looking at the situation in the formation ahead, he couldn't help but say with some emotion.

  "I'm looking forward to it too." Mo Juren smiled, then flipped his hand, took out a black jade bottle about an inch high and handed it to the other party.

"This is the newly refined Xuanyin liquid, the quality is pretty good. If you take it all, it should be able to replenish your lost Yuan Shen essence."

"Has it been refined?" Seeing the jade bottle, Lord Dayan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, while at the same time he became more and more confused.

I have clearly been staying by his side all this time, helping him refine the Ten Thousand Souls Gourd, but I have never had any free time. When did he refine it?

  Mo Juren vaguely guessed what the other party was thinking, but he did not intend to explain. He urged the magic power in his palm and slowly sent the jade bottle to the other party, then continued:

"The refining of the Ten Thousand Souls Gourd is almost finished. Daoist Fellow Dayan does not need to continue watching. Just go ahead and refine this liquid."

"The more it is now, the more you must not be careless. There is no rush to take the Xuanyin Liquid. I will continue to accompany you for the next few days." Lord Dayan shook his head slightly, and at the same time, he waved his hand, and a stream of magic power directly wrapped the jade bottle and sank it into the bamboo tube below.

"This... okay." What the other party said made sense. Mo Juren thought about it for a moment and did not refuse. He then focused his attention on the formation in front of him again.

Suddenly, he thought of something, and flipped his hands again, and the Ten Thousand Demons Banner emerged.

In the past half month, he has extracted 90% of the demon souls. Some of those that met the requirements were refined into Xuanyin Liquid, and the rest were all "fed" to the Ten Thousand Souls Gourd.

A lot of Xuanyin Liquid was harvested, but only one third of it was given to Lord Dayan. He had no idea how big the Wanhun Gourd would eventually grow after absorbing a huge amount of demon souls.

"After tens of thousands of years of being soaked in demonic energy, this Ten Thousand Demons Banner has undergone a qualitative change. Even though it is missing a large number of demon souls, which has greatly reduced its power, its value is still not low. Do you really plan to give it up?" Lord Dayan asked with a smile, taking a look at the small banner.

"It's just a replica of a magic treasure. It's of no use to me. Of course, I don't have to give up. It also depends on the attitude of that old demon Che. If he knows how to deal with things, then we can naturally negotiate. Otherwise..." Mo Juren smiled coldly. Although he didn't continue speaking, his meaning was already very clear.

"There is no doubt about this, he dare not do anything reckless." Lord Dayan saw it clearly. Under the current situation, if the other party still wanted to take action, he would definitely be crazy.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, another two days had passed.

On the morning of the third day, just as the two were waiting, suddenly, a violent fluctuation of spiritual power came from the formation in front of them. Then, the demonic energy and demon soul that were originally surging began to shrink rapidly.

The vision gradually became clearer, until all the demonic aura and demon souls disappeared, leaving only a palm-sized black gourd floating in the air.

Mo Juren raised his hand and the black gourd disappeared instantly, and when it reappeared it was in his hand.

This is naturally the Ten Thousand Souls Gourd, but after careful observation, I found that it is slightly different from before.

First of all, the size is obviously larger than before refining, and the surface is no longer pure black, but covered with countless fine golden lines.

"Is this the only change?" Mo Juren frowned, thinking that after devouring so many demon souls, it shouldn't be that simple. Perhaps the internal space would be greatly improved.

Thinking of this, he immediately planned to immerse his mind in it. However, at this moment, the gourd in his hand suddenly trembled slightly, and the golden lines on it were shining with spiritual light, which was extremely gorgeous.

The next moment, a stuttering and slightly childish voice came into the sea of ​​consciousness.

"Daddy...Daddy..."

"Huh?" Mo Juren was stunned. What was going on? Why did he feel like someone was calling him daddy? Was he hallucinating?

"Daddy..." That voice sounded again, and Mo Juren finally realized that he was not hallucinating, but the Wanhun Gourd in his hand actually had intelligence, and it was obviously not low-level.

"This..." Mo Juren was completely dumbfounded. He really hadn't thought that after swallowing a large number of demon souls, the Ten Thousand Souls Gourd would have such a change. "What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Because of the telepathic transmission, Dayan Shenjun didn't hear the sound from the Ten Thousand Souls Gourd, but seeing the other party's expression, he naturally realized that something was wrong.

"There is indeed a problem, and it's a big problem..." Mo Juren did not hide it and immediately informed the other party of the situation. After listening, Dayan God was also shocked.

How is it possible that a weapon spirit was born, and a high-level weapon spirit that can communicate directly with its master's mind?

As we all know, magic weapons are dead objects. It is extremely difficult to give birth to complete spiritual intelligence. Not only does it take hundreds of thousands or even millions of years, it also requires a rare opportunity.

Therefore, even if it is the Tongtian Lingbao in Mo Juren's hand, what is bred from the treasure itself is just a wisp of spirituality, it is impossible to reach such a level?

Of course, there are special cases, such as Yin Yue, who was previously refined into a flying sword and became a high-level spirit weapon. Similar situations are not uncommon in the world of immortal cultivation.

But this is an acquired gift, and is completely different from the innate spirit that is nurtured by the treasure itself.

Suddenly, he thought of a possibility.

It is true that magic weapons are inanimate objects, but the Ten Thousand Souls Gourd is not. It is born and raised naturally and has the ability to grow infinitely, so it is naturally not that difficult to breed an innate spirit.

  Thinking of this, he did not hide it and immediately expressed his guess, and at the same time suggested:

"We can ask Senior Xuanming about this matter. She is knowledgeable and will definitely..."

Lord Dayan was about to continue speaking when he suddenly felt his soul tighten, as if grabbed by an invisible hand, and he became breathless.

Fortunately, this feeling of oppression only lasted for a moment and then disappeared, but even so, it still made Dayan Divine Lord feel a little scared.

"Boy, do you think I'm old?" A cold voice sounded, and the next moment, the figure of Fairy Xuanming emerged.

"Uh...it was just an unintentional mistake on my part. I had no intention of offending you." Lord Dayan finally reacted and quickly apologized, but in his heart he only wanted to curse.

  Is it really that serious? Are you going to get angry about this?

Besides, my original intention was to express respect and I had no other thoughts. Is it necessary to be so sensitive?

Sure enough, in some matters, women in the world are no different and cannot be judged by common sense.

"Isn't it an offense to be so critical of it in your heart?"

"Ah... How dare I, a junior!" His thoughts were exposed, and Lord Dayan's heart skipped a beat. If he was not a puppet at the moment, his expression would have changed drastically.

It was so scary. He thought he had some strength, but in front of this person he seemed transparent and couldn't hide anything.

"You know in your heart whether you dare or not. I will never wrongly accuse others." Fairy Xuanming had a cold expression, but she was secretly amused in her heart. It was impossible for her to be really angry because of a name. She was just teasing the other person because she was really bored.

Fortunately, Lord Dayan didn't know about this, otherwise he would be so angry that he would vomit blood. A big shot like you just made a casual teasing, but he was scared half to death, okay?

Fairy Xuanming ignored the other party and waved her slender hand to take the Gourd of Ten Thousand Souls into her hand.

  After a careful observation, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes:

"It's actually the Yuan-Swallowing Gourd, no wonder."

"Swallowing Yuan Gourd?" Not only Mo Juren, but also Dayan God beside him was also shocked and a little confused. It was obvious that he had never heard of it.

  "In the cultivation world, there is a saying about the ten great spiritual roots, all of which are born naturally and are no less powerful than those mysterious things. Each one of them will stir up the wind and clouds and attract all races in the world to fight for it." Having said this, Fairy Xuanming suddenly looked at the gourd in her hand again and continued,

"Of course, this Yuan-Swallowing Gourd has not yet reached the level of the Ten Great Spiritual Roots, but it has a certain origin with the Heaven-Swallowing Gourd, one of the Ten Great Spiritual Roots. To be precise, it should be the product of the Heaven-Swallowing Gourd's seed after many generations of reproduction."

"So, this Swallowing Yuan Gourd is the descendant of the ten great spiritual roots?" Mo Juren's expression changed.

  "That's true, but because it has been passed down for many generations, it has already undergone tremendous mutations and is far from being comparable to the Heaven-Swallowing Gourd." Fairy Xuanming nodded and continued,

“This kind of situation is actually not uncommon. In other words, all spiritual roots in the cultivation world, even the weeds on the roadside, must have extraordinary roots if you trace their origins. However, as time goes by, some may go extinct, while others can adapt to changes in the environment and gradually evolve into countless different varieties.

This Swallowing Yuan Gourd is like this, and it is one of the better derivative varieties. Even if it is placed in the spirit world, it is still very valuable. I wonder how many people are thinking about it. "

"When I first got this spiritual gourd, it had already been randomly sacrificed by a demonic cultivator, causing damage to its origin. Afterwards, it was repaired by a weapon-refining master, allowing it to return to its original state and have the ability to grow. I wonder if there will be any impact?" Mo Juren thought of the past situation and asked again hurriedly.

"I can see these even if you don't say them. I have to say that the weapon refining master is indeed quite capable. In addition, your luck is really amazing. Although this spirit gourd has been repaired twice, its origin has been damaged after all, and its future growth is ultimately limited.

But I never thought that after swallowing a large number of demon souls, it would mutate again, making this spirit gourd show a trace of reversion. What does this mean? I don't need to say more, right? "Speaking of this, Fairy Xuanming couldn't help but marvel at it.

  "Reversion, senior, do you mean that it is possible for it to grow to the level of the Heaven Swallowing Gourd?" Mo Juren became interested, but was immediately met with a roll of the eyes by the other party.

"What are you dreaming of? This Yuan-Swallowing Gourd is indeed extraordinary, but it can't grow to the level of Zugen, which is said to be able to swallow the sky and the earth. At best, it can only swallow some invisible things, such as demon souls and Yuanshen."

"That's not easy either." Mo Juren nodded, and then asked the original question again.

"Then what happened just now? Why was such a high level of intelligence born? Could it be related to its ability to devour demon souls and spirits?"

"There are some reasons, but the main reason is that it has mutated. The Yuan-Swallowing Gourd is of extraordinary origin. In addition to the large number of living souls it has swallowed in the past, it has now swallowed a large number of demon souls again. Under coincidence, it is not surprising that it has bred a highly intelligent spirit." Having said this, Fairy Xuanming directly returned the gourd to Mo Juren and continued,

"After this mutation, the essence of the Yuan-Swallowing Gourd is no longer missing, and its future growth potential is endless. But there is also a bad point, which is that its function has changed. It is no longer suitable to be used as a large storage bag. As for what specific mysteries it has, you can slowly explore it."

After saying that, she didn't stay any longer, and disappeared in a flash.

"Has the function changed?" Looking at the small and exquisite spiritual gourd in his hand, Mo Juren was very confused. Then he immediately immersed his mind in it. The scene he saw made him stunned.
